Mauritius for Entrepreneurs & Founders
Build your company from a credible, low-tax base — fast incorporation, a 15% headline rate, and a permit that lets you live where you work.
Mauritius is one of the most business-friendly places to build a company. Incorporation is quick, the headline corporate rate is 15% (with effective rates lower for qualifying global-business activity), there is no capital-gains tax, and the island ranks first in Africa for ease of doing business.
As a British-lawyer-led firm, we set the structure up properly and pair it with the right residence route — usually the Investor or Self-Employed Occupation Permit — so you can live in Mauritius while you run and grow the business. Banking, accounting and compliance are handled in-house.
The essentials
Structured properly
We choose and register the right vehicle — domestic company or GBC — for your activity and markets.
Live where you work
The Occupation Permit combines a work and residence permit, for you and your family.
Banking & compliance
Account opening, accounting, payroll and ongoing filings coordinated in-house.
A credible base
A well-regulated, treaty-connected jurisdiction — not an offshore afterthought.
Frequently asked
What's the fastest way to move my business and myself?
For most founders it's the Investor Occupation Permit — an investment into a Mauritian company that also grants a ten-year work-and-residence permit for you and your family. We run the incorporation and the permit together.
Do I need to be in Mauritius to set up the company?
Much of the process can begin remotely. We advise on what requires your presence (such as certain banking steps) and structure the timeline around your move.

What our clients say

“I am incredibly satisfied with the service TBI Mauritius provided. They truly “do what they say they will do,” and their professionalism, reliability and expertise make them a standout choice for anyone planning a move to Mauritius.”
“We reached out to TBI once we had decided to move to Mauritius. It has been invaluable to have Philip's knowledge and advice. Nastasia took us to our meetings at the EDB — she has an excellent relationship with them and getting our permits was a great experience. I highly recommend TBI for all your relocation needs.”
“I contacted TBI for the Mauritius Retirement Non-Citizen visa. Philip was in regular touch throughout the entire process. It took longer due to strict documentation requirements, but we finally got through. The company was very professional in their approach.”
